Connection to Bucks County:
For Moss Hart, Bucks County was an idyllic retreat from New York City where, surrounded by silence and $35,000 worth of trees, he could write. Between 1937 and 1954 Hart resided in Solebury Township, having purchased his home on a whim while visiting George S. Kaufman. Naming the eighteenth-century stone house Fairview Farm, Hart added tennis courts, a swimming pool, a two-acre terrace, and ample foliage, prompting his guest Alexander Woollcott to quip, "Just what God would have done if He had the money."

Moss Hart was actively involved in the Bucks County Playhouse, serving as an officer when it opened in 1939. His play, You Can't Take It With You, written with George S. Kaufman, was produced there during its first season. Subsequently, the Bucks County Playhouse staged several of his plays, including George Washington Slept Here, which, written with Kaufman, was inspired by their experience renovating their old Bucks County farmhouses. Alongside Kaufman and Harpo Marx, Hart in 1941 acted in the Bucks County Playhouse's first production of his and Kaufman's comedy, The Man Who Came to Dinner, playing the role of the effete Beverley Carleton.Hart appeared in The Man Who Came to Dinner, at Bucks County Playhouse, in 1941 and in 1946.
